Use Of IP Camera As A Web Cam

Hugh Devereux

Not a usual discussion topic here, but I have a need to put in a high resolution camera to provide simple jpeg snapshots and/ or potentially a "thin" live stream to a web site "webcam" page. Just wanted to know if anyone has experience of optimal cameras for this purpose. Can be an internal or external camera as I have several mounting options. Problems experienced include the camera needing a user name and password and not being able to simply submit these from the URL. Want a good HD or higher resolution product.
